I don't know which type of mewler squig is my favourite:

The fact-free straight-to-the-High-Court Blusterer: "Well, I hope you're ready to GET SUED HO HO HO do you have a nice house get ready to LOSE IT HO HO HO"

The probably quite new to the internet Professionally Appalled: "What sort of PERSON ARE YOU to say these things about Jack she does so much for the world WHO ARE YOU?"

Or my favourite, the Pass-Agg Cat's Arse: "I guess you're probably a person with a lot of time on your hands and have a strange view of the world I hope things improve for your outlook as in the end and in the long run this isn't very nice"

The first two are just ignorable. It's the third that end up with the power.

Bringing across this awesome post from @bladiesla as it looks at why the mindless Jackolyte squigs are refusing to engage with the infamous twitter takedown thread.

Jack Monroe #349 Shameless

The cult of Jack Monroe really is a good example of how you should stay loyal to causes or values, and not people or parties (I am not talking about looking out for friends or family, i.e. people you have actual two-way relationships with). You never know when your hero will fall of their...

I think it is a really valuable point about how Jack has built herself up and if she is destroyed, the whole Ponzi scheme comes crashing down too.

If anyone wasn't sure how the Hitler Youth happened...

I jest, but there is some serious cognitive dissonance, sunk cost fallacy and general delusion on display. For the avoidance of doubt though let me state categorically and for the record, Jack is not as bad as Hitler.
 
Look at the numbers from yesterday’s takedown:

@StillLucilleBluth You were wondering why the Jackolites have such faith in their messiah on the last thread. I wonder if it's some modern form of Stockholm Syndrome by social media, where fans praise someone, give them money and fawn over them for years and now can't accept that they're being manipulated.

This is interesting to me but we ran out of thread to reply. I brought across another post which explains it better than I could. X

PS these people have picked their hill of slop to plant their flag on. They'd have some kind of existential crisis if they assessed the information rationally.

Congratulations to newcomer @meizee for the thread title based on a squiggle’s tweet that they can’t afford to send cash-o to Jack, but they could crochet something (they have a lot of yarn, apparently) your prize is looking after Jack’s social media accounts for the day.

It’s finally happening - Jack wrote a beg too far and twitter is alight with people showing discrepancies all over the place. Real journalists and big accounts are watching and liking.
wiki is pink button at the top, write “thread title” with any nominations and no naughty swears in them.

Thanks for the honour… after lurking in and out since DKL, it’s been a proud moment to be with the Fraus in the mother of all chaoses 🥹

ETA I’d rather carve out my own eye with a spoon than be managing her Twitter
 
For the Netflix Special expose, I shall be re-wearing my GoHenry card outfit.... gotta think of the environment and wear things twice (it’s my court outfit too). I’ll also be commissioning some new books from our favourite writer:

- A Grift Called Jack (Over 100 simple budget scams)

- Good Grifts for Bad Days (What to scam when you’re feeling poor)

- Tin Can Grift (75 sure fire scams)
